This Weeks Question Is:Worst cover? What is the worst cover of a book that you've read and loved?
Ohh.. uhmm.. Well, I don't really pick up a book unless I like the cover. *sigh* I know this is all bad. But I just CAN'T HELP IT! And If I didn't like the cover, well.. the book pretty much disappointed me too.
I know I'm probably definitely missing out on some awesome books because of this slight problem that I have. *shrugs* But, that's just how I am. BUT, I am working on that lol. Now, if this question were reversed.... Yeah.. There'd be a lot of books I'd be mentioning.
What about you? HATE the cover, LOVE the book?
We basically had the came answer! I don't read a book unless I like the cover and If I don't like the cover then I probably left it on the shelves
ReplyDelete^_^ Right, it's a really bad habit of mine, but I can't help it. >.<
DeleteWoman, you might be surprised how many good/great books are out there that have shitty covers. Shame on you. I will have to come up with a list for you. ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh I know for sure that I'm missing out on some great books. >.< I'll be looking forward to that list :p

I can't blame you for judging a book by its cover. I think most people must- I do. I mean you can't read the summary of every book that comes out. A summary is usually at least around 1/2 a page to a page; 1000's of books come out every month. If you read all of them, that's a chunky book (500 pages). So, you need some kind of way to sift through all of the books out there. And for me, when it's an unknown book or author, I sort out books by cover.

pretty much. That's how I am too. Which is also how I've gotten to love some of the new authors that I read. If it weren't for the cover I would have never discovered them. Thanks for stopping by <3

I'm similar to you too- I rarely pick up a book that has a terrible cover!

That is usually the case with me too. Though, I will give the synopsis a read before I give up on it. The cover does help a lot though.

oh right, I do read the synopsis as well, but that never really catches my interest either. Thanks for stopping by and for the follow, Nick <3

I do the exact same thing all the time. I always feel really bad, but if the cover isn't appealing I won't love it.
ReplyDeleteMy FF
right, I feel bad too *sigh*
DeleteAna♥
Same here, unless the synopsis on the back sounds really good the cover is usually what draws me in.

Yeah that sometimes happens with me as well. But there have been books that I did end up loving but the covers were pretty blah!

LOL, I totally get that. It is hard for me to pick up a book with a bad cover. I am happy I do though because if I didn't I would have never read Magic Bites. My fave book.
ReplyDeletelol. eeek. I picked up Magic Bites and tried to read it but I just couldn't get into it. I wasn't all that into the cover either. But I'm thinking it's because I had just finished the BDB series and was looking for something else to dive into.. I am thinking of trying to read it again though.. in time... lol Thanks for stopping by <3

I do the same thing. Sometimes I won't pick up a book if I don't like the cover. New follower :)

lol. Thanks. Oh I know!!! *sigh* I will take rec's for awesome books with less attractive covers, though >.< I'm working on it lol.. slightly. Thanks for stopping by girly <3

What about books that are in series. Sometimes the first book has a great cover but the next book not so much, but you already know you love the other book so you read it. See there is ways to read books with bad covers. lol
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
oooh I know. I totally forgot about that. It's been a while since I've read a series with a bad cover. But you're right, that is def a way to read books with bad covers lol. THanks for stopping by girly <3
DeleteAna♥
I can completely sympathise with you! Covers which are just bland don't sell the book at all and personally I just don't notice them or dismiss them on the shelf.

exactly! And if I didn't like a book but it has a gaaaawgeous cover, it stays on my shelf to look pretty lol. Thanks for stopping by and for the follow

lol! I have the same problem as well. If the cover is ugly I usually skip it and if I do read it I keep thinking about the cover again and again so that it ruins the book for me. New GFC follower!

I understand! I usually won't read a book either unless there is at least *something* on the cover that I like.
